I was playing with a patch earlier that is pretty clean, but just on the edge of breaking up a bit when I play hard (with high-output active pickups, in my case). I was toying with the drive and master volume to experiment with this breakup and wasn't so clear on what I was hearing. The character is definitely different, but I can't put my finger on it because it's pretty subtly applied in this situation.
So, by way of a general question: in this context of a mostly clean tone just starting to distort, how do you think of the characteristics of the power amp vs. the preamp distorting? Which do you shoot for in this situation?
Thanks for any words of wisdom.
